i just bought a zapco c2k 9.0 and its on its way here. i am planning to run an RE audio XXX 15 sub with it. But the problem is that my sub is a dual at 4ohm and i think i have also picked up the 4ohm version of the 9.0 by mistake, which puts out 2000x1 at 4 ohms bridged. Dont think i can return or change either cos they were bought internationaly. Now what is the best thing to do. someone help!!

 

the RE xxx is a dual 2 as spec'd on their website.

 

they do have a custom dual 4 ohm version which is the one i bought

 

If you bought the XXX direct form RE give them a call and see if you can change it to a dual 2ohm model.

 

Bob at zapco will change your 9.0 to a 2 ohm version for a small fee.

Getting a different sub or reconning is probably cheaper/easier...

do you even have the sub yet? If RE hasent sent it yet, it shouldnt be a big deal to change your order...

 

Its actually pretty damn costly with a sub on steriods like the XXX, parts for a sub like that dont come cheap. Re-coning companies are hard to come by. Just because the sub hasn't arrived, dosen't mean RE just hasn't shipped it yet. Shipping takes a while, so the sub is probably half way from there to who knows where right now, stopping the shipping (good luck!!!!

I'd just get the amp shipped back to Zapco, once you recieve it, and ask them to modify it for you.

 

I'd have the amp modded, the 4 ohm version has a higher rail voltage, and is the one to upgrade the output fets. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

SPL why dont you price out what it will cost to change the PS and outputs in that amp...


I think the easiest thing would be to send it back and ask for a different sub... you would have to talk to RE but they should exchange it and all you will lose is the shipping...

Of course that is still damn expensive.. so maybe the amp would be cheaper seeing as how you are in india... but you still have to ship that back and forth and I bet its not cheap to change over.....


**** man.. Id probably just run the zapco at 2ohms...... set the gains judicously and you shouldnt have any problems...
